You have to be able to find diamonds in the rough or else you're looking at losing those top picks because you can't afford their big contracts.

it should be obvious and no, not all 1st and 2nd rounders become pro-bowlers, but we sure do have lots of them and we'll have our hands full when it comes time to sign Ealy, the DT twins, Trai and KB.

Never mentioned Pro Bowlers but 1st and 2nd rounders should contribute immediately and eventually become starters.  Hopefully solid starters.

Those diamonds and so far Gettleman has shown he can find them, is what makes the difference in a good team and a Super Bowl contending team.

Couple years ago we were guessing who would make the 53 man roster.  Now we are wondering which good player is going to be left off that 53 man roster.  It is exciting to see us building a roster full of talented players that even if a starter goes down.  We have quality behind them.

Next man up is a great place to be. It's hard to believe that the last 5 guys who make our roster are capable of coming in if need be.

Our final 5 next year could very well be 5 guys we draft in April...that's just crazy.

Gettelman has selected 16 players in his three years as GM and only 3 are no longer with the team.

RB Tyler Gaffney tore his ACL and was claimed by the Patriots.

G Edmund Kugbila had back issues that ended his career having never played a down in a regular season game.

RB Kenjon Barner was traded to Chip Kelly and the Eagles. (interesting note: in the post-draft press conference, Gettleman mentioned that he was torn between certain players but settled on Barner after position coaches assured him he would be a fit)

I know Gman says he hates to develop players for other teams. But if he continues to draft as well as he has. That's exactly what he is going to wind up doing.

 

Starting next year the cycle starts. Stah, and KK will need to be addressed. The next year is KB, and Trai. The year after is Shaq, and Fun Fun. And Luke, and or, Cam coming due again. With this years draft on the horizon. With any other players you have developed over the next few years.

 

Not everyone is going to survive. We are going to lose some good players. As well as those mid-level guys. Those later round guys you develop, will have decisions to make when their next contract comes due.

 

Starting this year. It is going to get progressively more difficult to make this roster. And some of those guys who don't make the team, or are let go, are going to be some good players. Teams will be watching our roster for a change.

 

Wow! So this how this football things looks when you do it right? Cool!

Or the last 5 we cut end up starting for another team.

Case in point... This is Klein's last season of his rookie contract.  Probably his last season here.  That dude could be starting for several teams right now.

Kugbila and David Mayo are the only Gettleman picks I have ever actually thought were bad selections

      Greg Cosell on Bryce Young

      By SOJA · Posted

      Bryce has been playing the best ball of his career the last three games IMO. He wasn't the reason we dropped the game in NOLA. Seattle's defense will be his toughest challenge yet this season

      Are the Panthers a "Trap Game" for the Hawks?

      By SOJA · Posted

      I'll be at the game Sunday and up until last year I had a perfect attendance record. Now however I have seen us lose to the Chiefs (last year) and the Bills (this year). So we can no longer rely solely on my ability to pound overpriced beers to propel us to a win.

      I haven't been able to watch Seattle on a dedicated basis but the Seahawks are a much better team by the all accounts: eye test, record and DVOA. Defensively they are sick. Best DVOA in the league first in rushing and second in passing. Offensively their passing game has been on fire this year led by JSN I can easily see this being like the Buffalo game where things just get out of hand for us early, that being said this league really is week to week and Seattle does have the disadvantage of traveling cross country for an early game.  If and big if, the Panthers are able to effectively run the ball and limit the amount of time Seattle's offense has to generate explosive plays we have a path to winning this game.  Seattle fans won't be happy to hear this but bad Darnold is always lurking in the background. He is truly an enigma to root for bc he will have an incredible throw that only a few people can make but then will turn around and throw the most bone headed pick of all time.  I think ultimately we drop this one as ultimately it's human nature to be looking forward to that week 18 game. But man how special would it be to be leaving the stadium on Sunday with a win and a miracle dolphins upset
